- LucidFlex if you want the lowest fixed entry price at most sizes ($90.20 for 50K with CHAMP; LucidDaily is priced at checkout) and no consistency rule once funded. The cost: 5 profit days per payout and payouts of at most 50% of profit, capped at $1,000–$3,000.
- LucidPro if you want to pass in one day (no evaluation consistency rule) and bigger caps after payout 1 ($1,500–$3,500). Once funded you face a 40% rule and a buffer.
- LucidDaily if you want to request a payout every day with no per-payout cap. The cost: an intraday drawdown when funded, and red-folder news is a hard breach.
- LucidDirect if you want to skip the evaluation. It costs more up front than a Pro or Flex evaluation ($230.30–$585.20 with CHAMP) and pairs a 20% consistency rule with a profit goal before every payout.
- Flex is cheaper than Pro with CHAMP at 25K, 50K, 100K; at 150K Pro is slightly cheaper.

CHAMP prices are what Lucid’s checkout showed at our last check (promotional pricing was live). Confirm the price at checkout. “Least profit” rows: Pro’s profit must clear the buffer before you can request (the articles we read don’t say whether the request may take the balance back under it); Flex needs 50% of profit to cover the $500 minimum; Daily needs $500 above the buffer; Direct needs the payout-1 goal.
Lucid prices with CHAMP, by size
| Price with CHAMP | 25K | 50K | 100K | 150K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| LucidPro | $70.60 | $115.40 | $180.40 | $245.50 |

Activation is free on Pro, Flex and Daily; on Direct it is included in the one-time price. If you pass on the first try, the CHAMP price is your full cost to reach a funded account; each failed attempt adds a reset fee. Prices: Lucid checkout at our last check, promotional pricing live. Confirm at checkout.
Of the accounts with a fixed price, the cheapest way into a funded Lucid account is a LucidFlex evaluation at the size you need (LucidDaily is priced at checkout); at 150K LucidPro is the cheaper evaluation. LucidDirect costs $360.50 at 50K, but there is nothing to pass and no reset to buy.
Which Lucid account fits how you trade?
| If you… | Look at | Why |
|---|---|---|
| are on a tight budget | LucidFlex | Cheaper than Pro with CHAMP at most sizes, and no funded consistency rule. |
| want to pass in one day | LucidPro | No evaluation consistency rule. Flex and Daily use a 40% evaluation rule (our reading: at least three days); Flex’s paid 50% add-on lets you pass in as few as 2 days. |
| want to withdraw every day | LucidDaily | Daily requests and no per-payout cap above the buffer. |
| trade the news | Pro, Flex or Direct | A funded LucidDaily account treats red-folder news as a hard breach. |
| make most of your money on a few big days | LucidFlex or LucidDaily | Neither has a funded consistency rule. Direct’s 20% rule is the strictest. |
| don’t want to take an evaluation | LucidDirect | Straight to funded, for a higher one-time price. |
| want large single withdrawals | LucidDaily or LucidPro | Daily has no per-payout cap above the buffer; Pro allows up to $3,500 from payout 2 on 150K. |
| want an end-of-day drawdown when funded | Pro, Flex or Direct | A funded LucidDaily account is always intraday. |
Lucid Flex vs Pro: the difference that matters
On the evaluation they are close: the same $3,000 target and $2,000 end-of-day max loss on 50K. The differences are the evaluation consistency rule (none on Pro, 40% on Flex) and everything after you pass.
At 50K, LucidPro costs $115.40 with CHAMP. Every payout needs the $500 cycle goal, a balance above $52,100 and a best day under 40% of profit. In return you can take up to $2,000 on payout 1 and $2,500 after.
LucidFlex costs $90.20. There is no buffer and no funded consistency rule, but each payout waits for 5 profit days of $150+ and is limited to 50% of profit, up to $2,000. To take the full $2,000 you need $4,000 of profit in the cycle (our arithmetic).
In short: Pro suits traders whose days are even and who want bigger withdrawals; Flex suits traders with uneven days who are happy to withdraw half at a time. The full payout mechanics are in our Lucid Trading payout rules.
LucidDaily vs LucidPro
Both use the same buffer ($52,100 on 50K). After that they split. LucidDaily lets you request every day with no per-payout cap and no funded consistency rule. Its funded drawdown is intraday, and a red-folder news trade ends the account. LucidPro keeps an end-of-day drawdown and allows news, but caps each payout and applies a 40% rule. LucidDaily’s evaluation has a 40% rule (50% add-on); Pro’s has none.
LucidFlex vs LucidDirect
LucidDirect trades money for time: $360.50 at 50K versus $90.20 for a Flex evaluation, and no evaluation to pass. Once funded it is the stricter account: a $3,000 profit goal before payout 1, a 20% consistency rule, and a DLL on 50K and up. LucidFlex makes you pass first, then has no funded consistency rule and only needs 5 profit days per payout. Both cap payouts at $2,000 on 50K at the start; Direct rises to $2,500 for payouts 4–5.
